After hearing that John Ward was savagely beaten, blasted with a shotgun and then executed with a second close-range blast when he was crawling away and no doubt aware of Nally's complaint that John was "like a badger" - he could'nt kill him with the spar of wood, the jury's "care and consideration" was evidenced in their verdict. ... read full story / add a comment

Over the Christmas, on some channel at some time of the day or night, it is pretty inevitable that Billy Wilder's excellent film, Some Like It Hot, will be shown. In the movie, when Tony Curtis wants to impress Marilyn Monroe about how financially secure he is, he picks up a sea shell and holds it up, to indicate that his investments are secure and, to say the least, high-yield.

Corporate rule has reduced the real status of the public to servility and subservience, not dissimilar to the ancient Roman model of kept house-slaves. The belief that Roman slaves were constantly maltreated is based on erroneous images (whipped galley-slaves) that Hollywood and the entertainment industry have popularised. Ancient Roman slaves lived in basic but tolerable conditions, similar (in relative terms) to the servile masses of today. ... read full story / add a comment
